Chapter 17 Addendum 1 "A Chapter of History Concealed"

During the same period, John W. Powell, an American journalist born in China, published a post-war "Allied Forces Concealed Chapter" titled "A Hidden Chapter in History" using top secret information obtained under the U.S. Open Intelligence Act. "The details of the secret deal between the Commander-in-Chief and the personnel of the unit: the unit fully provided their research results to the United States, and the United States pardoned them and did not judge them as war criminals.The author got in touch with him, found the magazine "Atomic Energy Science Bulletin" that published Powell's paper, and obtained the right to translate it.The main points of Powell's paper are as follows:

There were an unknown number of Americans among the captives used by the Japanese army’s germ warfare unit to conduct various experiments on live bodies. Washington clearly knew this fact, but in order to ensure the monopoly of the unit’s information, he said, “The information at hand... is at present. Under the circumstances, it cannot be considered that there is sufficient evidence to confirm the suspicion of Ishii and his collaborators as war criminals” to obstruct the exposure of the Japanese army’s bacterial warfare forces. Dr. Edwin Hill and Dr. Joseph Victor of Fort Detrick Research Institute, the US Army's Bacterial Chemical Warfare Base, pleaded for immunity for Ishii's troops and others. They said: "The materials of Ishii's troops are funded. The result of millions of dollars and long-term research, this kind of information is attached to live experiments, and we cannot obtain it in the laboratory due to conscience. We only spent 250,000 yen to obtain these information (at that time About $700), it’s cheap.”

Scholars published in a memorandum issued by the U.S. Department of Defense and the State Department advised: “Nearly all the technical information of the Japanese army’s germ warfare unit fell into the hands of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, therefore, from the point of view of the defense and security of the United States, a public trial should be avoided. The Ishii Group is fully assisting the United States in preparing the tome report, agreeing to provide 8,000 'slides of people and animals that have undergone bacterial experiments', far Far outweighed the benefits obtained by exposing war criminals. This is extremely important to national security.” As a result, it was decided: “Due to the importance of Japanese military bacterial warfare intelligence, the U.S. government has decided not to expose any of the Japanese bacterial warfare groups. One is a war criminal."

On the issue of immunity, Ishii asked for a guarantee of immunity with documents. However, the US State Department was worried about troubles in the future and insisted that it would be a reliable guarantee as long as it notified the Japanese side and treated it as a confidential matter of the Special Intelligence Department. Has the United States and other major powers really given up on germ warfare at the moment?Opinions are divided on this issue among people of insight.Some people think: "This is a problem that has passed." Some people say: "History is often falsified, and it cannot be believed that it is an accurate thing. However, Japan's germ warfare against China cannot be regarded as the end. This seems to be Indeed. Germ warfare deserves a new chapter." According to documents that have been reviewed...

Thousands of Chinese, Mongol, Russian, American and mixed-race captives were infected with plague, typhus, dysentery, gas gangrene, typhoid, hemorrhagic fever, cholera, anthrax, tularemia , smallpox, scrub typhus, equine gangrene and syphilis and other diseases, they are also injected with horse blood, or through long-term X-ray exposure, destroying their livers, or conducting freezing experiments, vivisection, etc. People who have passed half their lives are killed Forced to die, etc., while General Ishii (Shiro) and the leading members of Unit 731 lived their lives to the fullest.Moreover, several persons, including General Kitano (Masaji), were in remarkable health, and at the time I wrote this paper they were enjoying their final years.

The above are the main points of Powell's thesis, and the sentence "There should be a new chapter written" is meaningful. In any case, "The Devil's Feast" has been confirmed from the United States.In the modern age of "not yet over", it is a war crime in the shadow of horror. Powell is currently writing a book on germ warfare.On the one hand, I provided him with information about "The Devil's Sate", on the other hand, I also planned to keep in close contact with him in the future, and also tracked down the US Army's bacterial chemical warfare unit based on the research of Unit 731 after the war. The footprints of the devil's growth.

That would be a terrifying new chapter, and one that would prove the impossibility of "just" wars.
